Stella Di Mare Beach Hotel & Spa

From the moment we arrived at Stella di Mare, we knew we were in for a special treat. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, going above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. They were always happy to help with anything we needed, and they never expected a tip. In fact, we didn't even tip them until the end of our stay, and they still provided us with the same excellent service. The hotel itself is beautiful and well-maintained, with stunning views of the Red Sea. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the bathrooms are clean and modern. We especially loved the pool area, which has plenty of sun loungers and parasols. The food at Stella di Mare was also excellent. But what really made our stay at Stella di Mare special was the staff. They are truly some of the nicest and most helpful people we have ever met. They made us feel like family, and we are so grateful for their hospitality. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a perfect vacation. It is the perfect place to relax and unwind, and the staff will make sure that you have an unforgettable experience. Room 531 ❤️🙏☀️

Just back from an amazing trip. I can't recommend this place enough. We'd read a lot of reviews before we left but weren't sure sure if they were genuine as it seemed too good to be true. I'm glad to say that they were all correct! The place is made but the staff. It is probably the friendliest and most helpful staff we've ever had at a hotel. The a la carte restaurants are included in the all inclusive and are very good quality. The food in general was great and so we're the drinks. The hotel isn't brand new but the amazing staff keep it looking extremely clear and tidy. Especially the gardens which are beautiful. We walked into town once night which I wouldn't recommend. It's much better to just stay in the hotel and enjoy the food and entertainment!

Perfect stay, from the communication beforehand, to the stay itself and everything in between. The food was incredible- particularly the non-buffet restaraunts, room was very clean and spacious, the location is awesome with great snorkelling available from the beach, the pools are great bar, and all the various bars and drink options. However the real jewel in the crown is the staff- they could not have done more to make our stay better- truly exceptional service.

Faultless service, customer service is superb. The hotel is immaculate and has a great selection of foods, even for fussy vegetarians! Staff go above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable. Heineken on tap at the pool bar and more crisps than you can eat. The hotel is geared mainly towards Russians. Cocktails are not their forte, but everything else was great. We stuck to the GandT for the majority of the holiday! There is no beach as such where you can enter the sea, just some deck chairs on sand overlooking the sea Beers (Heineken and the local Stella) and soft drinks in the mini bar, too. 3 pools to choose from, including a hot pool in the spa area. I would recommend that for the evening time. There is a small gym on site, enough to keep you busy, but not great for the gym bros. Staff are also quick to quieten noisy guests. Overall, it's as good as the 5 star reviews that everyone else had mentioned. WiFi is almost everywhere, decent enough around 9Mbps. You could easily work from here! Special shout out to some of the staff who went out of their way to make us feel at home: the 2 Mohammed's in the restaurant, Bilal, Mario, Carlos, Nabil, Carlos, Mina and Bisha!

Spent a blissful 10 nights at Stella Di Mare over Xmas/New Year 2024. It's located at the far end of Naama Bay but the market and the promenade are roughly 10-15 minutes by foot if you take the short cut through the Genena City Mall. We stayed in the family room which had 2 separate bedrooms and was large enough to accommodate 4 adults in comfort. There was also a balcony with partial sea views and gets sun throughout the day. Housekeeping was a bit grumpy but did a good enough job with some encouragement through small, regular tips. We opted for the 'soft all inclusive' package which excluded alcohol- food at the main restaurant was varied with plenty of choice for vegetarians. Mikhail at the restaurant deserves a special mention- very diligent, always greeted us with a smile and memorised our choice of drinks by day 2, which were ready at our table upon arrival. There was a selection of fresh fruit juices to choose from at all meal times, with mango juice proving a particular hit with the kids. There are a couple of A La Carte restaurants but they are not open daily and need to be booked at a certain time of the day (between 11-12:00 pm IIRC) so we never got around to trying them. Spa treatments were great value for money and we used them regularly. There are a couple of shops on the ground floor where you can pick up bits and bobs for not much more than what you'd pay in town. There are two pools but the one with the swim up bar is reserved for adults only. Both were heated to a toasty 26-27c so were quite comfortable to stay in for long periods. The hotel does not possess a sandy beach and access to the sea is via 2 separate pontoons but the house reef is more colourful, with more diverse marine life compared to those further up Naama Bay (Novotel for instance which has a lovely sandy beach to be fair). There are lifeguards on duty at both pontoons and life jackets available for less confident swimmers. Last but not the least, the New Year and Orthodox Xmas parties were an absolute blast with enormous quantities of food, gifts for kids, Santa on camels and a very varied entertainment programme which included a pyrotechnic show. In fact we enjoyed our stay so much we have booked again to return for a more extended stay this December!
